Chicken Noodle Soup

Cold winter days mean its time to warm up bellies. The perfect way is to make some soup, lots of soup… I realize some of you don’t live in an area with temps like ours. But I hope you will enjoy Chicken Noodle Soup for lunch, dinner or on your rainy days. It is also a wonderful comfort food.

What You Need

1 Lb. chicken (cooked and cut into bite sized pieces)

1 Lb. noodles (fresh, frozen or dry)

4 Cups chicken broth

1 1/4 Cup milk (optional)

1/4 Cup flour

1 Cup onions (chopped)

1 Cup carrots (chopped)

1 Cup celery (chopped)

3 Tbsp. parsley (chopped)

1 tsp. Dried thyme

1 tsp. Dry rosemary

Salt and pepper to taste

Large soup pot

Large saucepan

Bowl

Whisk

Before You Start: Prepare noodles according to directions

Lets Make It!

Combine broth and vegetables in soup pot and bring to a boil over medium high heat (cook for about 10 minutes or until the vegetables are tender). Reduce heat and add parsley, thyme, rosemary and chicken. Let simmer uncovered for 20 minutes. In a small bowl whisk together milk and flour then pour into soup and stir well to combine (add more milk if desired) and noodles, stir to combine and continue cooking for about 6 minutes ( until noodles are hot).

Serves 4-6

We were snowed in on Friday, schools were closed and roads were difficult to maneuver. Our sweet Izzy struggled to find a place to do his business in the back yard. I dug paths with the snow shovel some of you may have already seen this photo on facebook .:-)

I wish that I could experience your winter weather for just one day, Katie. We’re in the middle of a heat wave with the temperature coming close to the record high day after day. I can picture Izzy coming back into the house with snow in his whiskers. I’m sure he loves to romp in the white stuff. You soup looks delicious and I would enjoy it year ’round. Have a fine day out your way, dear friend!

I am a big chicken fan and I love soup Katie! Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe. I could do with this today as I am battling the flu and feeling rather chilly! By the way, the snow picture is so beautiful! Thanks for sharing on Creative Monday and have yourself a great day.

I made homemade chicken soup yesterday just as insurance to keep us all healthy!! I teach in high school and kids come sick, so I need every bit of insurance possible and chicken soup so often does the trick. I had to leave out the noodles because I am on a low carb diet…but it was still excellent! I love it that we are finally having a little cold weather in Texas!

We love soup too and this sounds delicious, but we haven’t really had snow much this winter. It is raining again today for the third day in a row. That said, definitely going to have to try this. Thanks 🙂

I really like the snow…when I don’t have to drive in it, haha. We haven’t had but one dusting this year in NC…sigh…I wish we would get some. 🙂
Love the chicken noodle idea…I’m trying to shake a cold; this sounds perfect. 🙂

Looks like you were in the same snow boat we were in. At least your dog went out. Ours absolutely refused till it didn’t storm any more, which was most of the day. Must have been very uncomfortable. (-:

Trackbacks

[…] Ah a new week ahead, so many possibilities await us all. For the past few days I have been sequestered in my art room. I have been working diligently on a big order for a hotel. They bought several of my embroidered do not disturb signs from my shop. My hubby went on an ice fishing trip this weekend, so meals were simple salads and my homemade chicken noodle soup. […]
